TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, JOHN S. STEELE, of Rockingham, in the county of Windham, and State of Vermont, have invented new and useful Improvements in Carriage Axles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full and exact description of the same, reference being had to the drawings that accompany and form a part of this specification, in which' Figure I is an exterior plan view.

Figure II is a sectional view.

Letter A the ordinary friction or wearing collar; letter B, axle; letter C an extra sand collar; lctterl), housing or covering for the collars A and C; letter E, chamber or narrow space 'between A and C; letter F, pipeb0x set in the hub. i

My invention consists in a light extra sand collar C, placed upon a common axle a short distance from the wearing collar A. The chamber E thus formed by the collar A,-collar O, and covering D, prevents the mud and dust from coming in contact with the wearing collar A. The housing or covering D is formed by an expansion and continuation of the pipe-box F, as the drawings clearly show.

What- I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The sand collar C and chamber E, in combination with the extended pipe-box F, for the purpose set forth.

JOHN S. STEELE.
